KumamotoOakland Bay, WA The famous oyster that will only ever be a Kumamoto. No other species can be a Kumamoto and a Kumamoto cannot be anything other than a
Magallana sikamea. This tradition runs as deep as the leases where these precious oysters are grown, as this oyster originally came from Japan and now is most commonly farmed in the US. These deep cups hold onto full, firm meats that burst forth with bright notes of melon, sea spray, and flint. A truly unique flavor profile on the oyster spectrum and one that is sought after worldwide. Serve it on a pedestal? Yes, m'Lord.
BoomamotoBarnstable, MA Wait??? I thought a Kumamoto couldn't be anything else? Here is where marketing meets innovation! The Kumamoto is so gorgeously praised for its robust meats and deep cups, so is there another oyster that could get that treatment too? Let me present to you the Boomamoto, a cocktail oyster with a powerful punch. This oyster is actively tumbled, meaning the new shell growth will break off with rigorous movement, forcing the shell to grow a deeper cup rather than branch out with a wider bill. The constant action also gives these oysters a workout (think bivalve Pilates!), plumping up that meat for a firm bite. The biggest difference is the species,
Crassostrea virginica, which denotes a strong and bright brine that is different from the sweet, melon notes from the Kumamoto. Does it live up to the hype? You tell us!
